The exhibit, on loan from the Museum of Holography in Nev York, is made up of 35 holograms A hologram is a three-dimensional image created using a laser, thai can be viewed on a flat surface 01 in the air. The different subjects ol the holograms range from Dizzy Gillespe to a piece of M.C. Escher art "Excitement over the hologram of Gillespe which belongs to the museum prompted us to bring in 'Futuresight,,M said Nancy Higgins, a spokesperson for the museum. The "Futuresight" exhibit is arranged in conjunction with the Charles Townes laser exhibit, which is a permanent part of the mL.AA- T nn_ ? n *?- ^ museum, iuwnes, a so urn Carolina native, won the Nobel Prize in 1964 for his groundbreaking work on the laser. He was on hand for the exhibit's opening on November 22. According to Ron Shelton, curator of Science and Technology at the museum, the principles behinc holography are becoming quite common.

"People really seem to enjoy what they see...the question is, is it art or fun or both?" She also said that the museum is quite interested in feedback from people who view the exhibit. "The exhibit is designed to speak to experts, as well as some one wno knows notning aoout nolography," Higgins said. "Our hope is that seeing our exhibits will make them want to learn more about whatever topics interest them." Shelton points out that, while holography is still in its infancy and is viewed as highly technical, photography was treated in the same way during its inception. Paul Barefoot, coordinator of traveling exhibits for the Museum of Holography, said that, at this point, "it's too technical," but predicts that holography will become more practical in the future, much like photography. The exhibit will run through January 26. The museum is located at 301 Gervais Street, and can be contacted at 737-4921 for more information. Upcoming events for the museum include a comprhensive World War II exhibit and a photography exhibit which opens on December 21. sy of Museum of Holography/S.C. State Museum n Ma Ri? Ri?
